Yeah that's what I've been trying for, but the lack of the shebang one in
the dictionary is the problem.
on documentWillSave(myDoc)
on menu_click(mList)
local appName, topMenu, r
-- Validate our input
if mList's length < 3 then error "Menu list is not long enough"
-- Set these variables for clarity and brevity later on
set {appName, topMenu} to (items 1 through 2 of mList)
set r to (items 3 through (mList's length) of mList)
-- This overly-long line calls the menu_recurse function with
-- two arguments: r, and a reference to the top-level menu
tell application "System Events" to my menu_click_recurse(r,
((process appName)'s ¬
(menu bar 1)'s (menu bar item topMenu)'s (menu topMenu)))
end menu_click
on menu_click_recurse(mList, parentObject)
local f, r
-- `f` = first item, `r` = rest of items
set f to item 1 of mList
if mList's length > 1 then set r to (items 2 through (mList's
length) of mList)
-- either actually click the menu item, or recurse again
tell application "System Events"
if mList's length is 1 then
click parentObject's menu item f
else
my menu_click_recurse(r, (parentObject's (menu item f)'s
(menu f)))
end if
end tell
end menu_click_recurse
tell application "BBEdit" to activate
menu_click({"BBEdit", "#!", "Check Syntax"})
end documentWillSave
Is the closest (and other variants) I've gotten, but the problem is the
menu is grayed out, so it's not really a functional script.
I'm hoping somebody has a better idea.
